Abstract
The increasing global demand for biomass of medicinal plant resources reflects the issues and crises created by diminishing renewable resources and increasing consumer populations (Liu and Xiao, 1993). Moreover, diverse usage of plants and reduced land for cultivation in the world accelerated the deficiency of plant resources. In addition, the perception of safety of plant-based medicine compared with that of chemical-based medicine whips up the demand of plants.
